   • Do you remember adjectives?
   • What do they do?
   • How do they work? Read and listen. Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They can come before the noun or after the verb is / are. Before the noun, it looks like this:
   • I like the big house! After the verb is / are, it looks like this:
   • That house is big! Notice that in the previous activity, the word “seems” was used in a similar way – like the latter.
   • The experience seems boring. Can you see there is a very small difference? Yes, that’s right! The adjective boring ends in - ing. Now, you know that when you talk about experiences, adjectives can have the - ing ending. EnglisHouse

My name is Jane Parmer. I am an actress. I have acted in plays and TV shows for about 10 years, but six months ago, I got my first role in a movie. I can tell now that it has been very rewarding! It is nice to know that what I do is important around the world. I just feel great that people are resting and relaxing while watching a movie in which I have participated. I also like to know that my advice has been useful for girls that want to become actresses. I guess my words have helped them feel motivated. It is great to see the positive effect; they continue studying and practicing! Since I started working in this project, I have worked from Tuesday to Sunday. I haven’t had the chance to go on vacation. I have told my manager that we must plan on that! He has told me that there are just a few more interviews and, after that, I will be free! I have thought of visiting my family in England as I haven’t been there since we started filming. Some people have come to me asking if I have social life or if I have a relationship, and… well, I haven’t seen my friends for a long time and, this was a secret – I’ve had it like this for a few months – but I’ll share it with you now, I have fallen in love with a handsome guy from the US! Tell nobody, alright! I haven’t told my manager my boyfriend is coming too; it will be a surprise! Well, now that I have said that, it’s time to say Bye Bye! I haven’t eaten anything since 7:00 am, I’ll go to a restaurant now.

Complete the table using different colours to differentiate and recognize these changes. There is one example. Another important thing to remember is that the endings of verbs change a little when you talk about another person (3 rd^ person - in the present), specifically “He,” “She,” or “It.” The table below shows the different changes verbs can have depending on the person you may be talking about.

change verb He She It o go goes… goes… goes… o do ch watch sh wash ss express x fix vowel + y play cons. + y study add -s work

Remember, for all the other personal pronouns, verbs have no changes (in the present).

Read and match the words.

1. cut - - shopping 2. play - - exercise 3. go - - her hair 4. do - - the dishes 5. do - - the news paper 6. read - - the piano
